Benchmark Armv8 VMM
by Chris Hofer 07 May '20

07 May '20

Hi, to measure the performance overhead of the Armv8 Genode VMM, I ran some benchmarks (cyclictest and lmbench). I compared it against a native Linux installation on the Imx8-evk board (same kernel version). For some measurements (for example fork + executing /bin/sh from lmbench), I observe counter-intuitive results in the sense that the virtualized version runs *faster* than the native one (Vm 1,1ms vs. native 2,5ms). My understanding is, that the virtual timer offset (cntvoff_el2) is not used and thus, the guest sees wall clock time. I would expect that the virtualization incurs an overhead and this overhead manifests itself in longer (wall clock) time measurements. Do you have any explanation for this or give me a hint on how to confirm correctness of measurements? Best, Chris

Gui issue.
by Shlomo Pongratz 23 Apr '20

Hi, While installing vbox5-nova-scupt there is a need to configure ROM(usb_device). The option list is truncated in the middle of "dynamic_depot_rom" (in the middle of the line), and there is no way to see if there are other options below. I guess the best thing is to change the window size however changing the fb_drv hight in the config didn't do the trick. Best regard. S.P.

Hi, I'm running the scultp-20.02 on QEMU and I'm trying tor run vbox5-nova-sculpt. And I get these errors: page fault, pd='init -> runtime -> vbox5-nova-sculpt -> vbox' thread='EMT-1' cpu=0 ip=0xaeb70 address=0x30 stack pointer=0xa09fec48 qualifiers=0x4 irUwp reason=1 no RM attachment (READ pf_addr=0x30 pf_ip=0xaeb70 from pager_object: pd='init -> runtime -> vbox5-nova-sculpt -> vbox' thread='VMPwrUp') page fault, pd='init -> runtime -> vbox5-nova-sculpt -> vbox' thread='VMPwrUp' cpu=0 ip=0xaeb70 address=0x30 stack pointer=0xa06fe848 qualifiers=0x4 irUwp reason=1 no RM attachment (READ pf_addr=0x30 pf_ip=0xaeb70 from pager_object: pd='init -> runtime -> vbox5-nova-sculpt -> vbox' thread='EMT-0') page fault, pd='init -> runtime -> vbox5-nova-sculpt -> vbox' thread='EMT-0' cpu=0 ip=0xaeb70 address=0x30 stack pointer=0xa08fead8 qualifiers=0x4 irUwp reason=1 Does this implies that this can't be done on QEMU but only on real HW. Best regards, S.P.

I/O Terminal for VM on Imx8q-evk
by Chris Hofer 20 Apr '20

20 Apr '20

Hey, I'm continuously exploring for my thesis the Genode virtualization on the Imx8q-evk board. Currently the vmm_arm-runscript only allows to specify a static command, which is repeatedly sent to the VM after it booted. In order to run some benchmarks on the VM, I would like to interact with the VM by sending dynamically input. Is there a way to interactively send input to the TTY of the VM via e.g. the serial interface of the Imx8q-evk? If there is none, can you think of an easy way to build it? Best, Chris Hofer

Error while building boot image.

Hi, I'm trying to build sculpt according to document https://genode.org/documentation/sculpt-20-02.pdf. In section 5.2 Building the boot image stage 7 one finds: Create the Sculpt boot image (defined by the run script at repos/gems/run/sculpt.run) make -C build/x86_64 run/sculpt KERNEL=nova BOARD=pc The file repos/gems/run/sculpt.run exists. $ file repos/gems/run/sculpt.run repos/gems/run/sculpt.run: exported SGML document, ASCII text However there is an error: $ make -C build/x86_64 run/sculpt KERNEL=nova BOARD=pc make: Entering directory '/home/shlomo/development/all_git/genode.git/genode/build/x86_64' Error: No run script for sculpt make: *** [Makefile:323: run/sculpt] Error 255 make: Leaving directory '/home/shlomo/development/all_git/genode.git/genode/build/x86_64' Best regards, S.P.

Warning and Error while running on QEMU.
by Shlomo Pongratz 19 Apr '20

19 Apr '20

Hi, While running sculpt-20.02 on QEMU according to the instructions from https://genode.org/download/sculpt e.g. qemu-system-x86_64 -display sdl -cpu core2duo -machine q35 \ -m 1024 -drive format=raw,file=sculpt-20.02.img I've noticed the following warning and error: [init] Warning: runtime assigned RAM (32G) exceeds available RAM (659914929) [init] Error: RAM preservation exceeds available memory The maximum amount I can give the QEMU is 8G, is there anyway one can lower the memory requirement for a prebuild image? Best regards, S.P.

Shutdown
by Shlomo Pongratz 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

Hi, I'm running sculpt-20.02.img on QEMU and I wonder if the only way to shutdown sculpt is to kill QEMU? Is it the same for real HW (e.g. to push the reset button)? I'm sure it is somewhere in the documentation but I've failed to find it. Best regards, S.P.

ssh client error
by Star Lord 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Hello friends! I thought it would be a good learning experience to attempt to setup the ssh client on Genode. I've decided not to worry about generating a pair of ssh keys and just test password authentication for now. I'm attempting to connect my laptop running Genode Sculpt 20.02 to a server running Ubuntu 19.10. I created a "host" file in one of my ahci filesystems' root directory and added the following: <host name="192.168.0.140" port="22" user="root" known="no"> >From the logs it seems like the computers recognize and acknowledge each other and, as expected, I receive an error message about a missing public key. Totally normal. But then I receive the following error messages: Error: password authentication denied Access denied for 'none'. Authentication that can continue: publickey,password Warning: rtc not configured, returning 0 It's a strange error message, because I explicitly allowed password authentication on my Ubuntu server. What do you think is causing the problem? I hope its okay that I ask simple questions here on the mailing list. The IRC channel isn't very active. Thanks, nooby
